Morgan Silver Dollar Fine Condition 1882-O

As many Morgan silver dollar collectors know, there were four mints that produced the Morgan silver dollar from 1878-1904. The Philadelphia Mint, the Carson City Mint, the San Francisco Mint, and the New Orleans Mint, or also known as the Old Mint. The Old Mint served as a branch of the US Mint from 1838-1861, then again from 1879-1909. After being decommissioned, the New Orleans Mint was used for other things like an assay office, the US Coast guard office, and even a fallout shelter. Nowadays, the Old Mint is considered an official historical landmark and is presently the oldest structure in the US. Your 1882-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans, carries the "O" mint-mark, and is in fine condition. Fine condition usually consists of heavy wear on the surface of the coin with image details that are smoothed over.
